Summary
Judd Moldaver, NHL player Agent for Auston Matthews, Roman Josi, Shane Bowers and Carter Hart and the Senior VP for the Wasserman Group spends the Full 60 with Craig Custance. Judd, one of the true characters of our game, talks with CC about his journey in hockey which led him to live out a childhood dream as a sports agent.
Judd talks about his relationship with the Matthews family, why Roman Josi should win the Norris Trophy and how Carter Hart is ready to lead the Flyers in a deep playoff run. Judd offers his thoughts on what he thinks the NHL off-season will look like, and Judd tells Craig how important it is to him to allow his clients to promote individualism and market themselves around the game and with outside interest.
Plus Judd talks about his good fortune to be able to work with Jeff Jackson, Dave Gagner, Ricky Curran, the legendary Bobby Orr, and the crew at Wasserman, after betting on himself, taking a chance and leaving an established job with C.A.A.
Judd, a very likeable, energetic, funny and honest interview subject, is one of the NHL's top young agents and a much needed breath of fresh air in the game, and Moldaver lands on The Athletic's 40 under 40 list in the NHL.
